When we were younger, My sisters and I were always bored on rainy days and at night. My family didn't have cable and we only had four channels. Since the channels had boring adult shows on them (Except one which had children shows on during the day until 6pm and then put boring adult shows on) so we would make up games of our own to play. Here is a list of the best ones.
Pinky Pinky: This was our version of Hide and Go Seek where whoever was IT had to go outside of the bedroom that we were playing in, count to Ten, and then when the time was up open the door and say,"It's Picky Picky, In case of an Emergency Dial 911 (we don't know why we would say dial 911, but my older sister made up this game.) and then they would find those who were hiding.
Delivery Man: This game was simple but was played in the bathroom (I have no clue why we played it in the bathroom). Two people would stand in the bathroom with the door closed and one person would go into the others rooms and get the stuffed animals and will knock on the bathroom door and one person will answer the door. The person with the stuffed animals would say, "Delivery" and the person who answered the door would have to "sign" for the package. The Delivery person would give them the stuffed animals and then the delivery man would run off into another room to get more stuffed animals and the person who answered the door would close the door and the whole thing would start over again. We would play this game until my father had to use the bathroom and make us clean everything up. My mother ended the game for good when after we played the game, my older sister threw up on all the stuffed animals, ruining them. This was a fun game, but I wouldn't play it in the bathroom
Slimy Swamp Monster: When I was little, our family room had this dark green shag carpet in there. That carpet served a lot of purpose in our play. When we played Barbies at the beach, The carpet served as the ocean. One game we liked to play was Slimy Swamp Monster. In the game, the carpet was a slimy swamp where the slimy swamp monster lived and if you stepped on the carpet, you would get eaten by the swamp monster. The only was to get around was to jump from the easy chair and the sofa that was in there. My mother ended this game after a while because she was tired of us jumping on the furniture.
Those were the best games we ever invented and I can't wait to see what games my niece and nephew invent!
